Probably because people realised that the majority of NFT projects being JPEGs with no tangible value wasn't worth investing in, not to mention all the current barriers / issues. At least with gaming you can make an argument that they're tied to in game assets, which is something.​

Facebook, or should i say Meta, lost far more this quarter on their NFT bullshit than Embracer spent when buying Square Enix. On top of that, all Meta has to show for it is some shitty looking VR space that a singular university student with an energy drink could do better than in one night, and multiple game devs are laughing online at how bad it looks.

Hopefully Meta dies along with this NFT scam shit.

Seriously, anyone who thinks NFTs are ok currently, or will be good for gaming in the long run is a moron.

imagine CS skins on steroids.

Can someone explain a concept to me, when you buy the NFT you just get the access to a link that will show the art right? If the server where the art is stored gets killed, you basically don't have an NFT? If that is the case, this sounds extremely stupid. I might have understood it wrong

"F1 Delta Time, an official NFT and crypto-powered racing game that launched back in 2019, closed its doors last month. This leaves everyone who had spent money and invested in the project probably wishing they had done something else with their time."


Like i said, you'd have to be a moron to think NFTs are ok.

mmm at least some projects seem to use distributed networks to keep the art, https://ipfs.io/, I think Bored Ape uses that.

I still think its stupid but this thing will catch on, people will spend stupid amounts of money to have stuff in games (they already do), a huge market of overpriced skins and shit games.

Well, on to the next scam for social media influencers.

In a new interview with Yahoo Japan, the exec said he believed that focusing only on traditional games would be “not enough” for the company going forwards, and described his vision for titles in which users would create content and be rewarded for their work (Matsuda previously said Square Enix could create its own cryptocurrency).

“In the future, we would like to try our hand at providing ‘autonomous game content’,” the president told Yahoo.

“Until now, in most games, we provided the content as a finished product and the players played that content. However, there are a certain number of players in the world who want to contribute to making games more interesting, by creating new settings and ways of playing.”

This is funny because this past weekend I was listening to an interview on NPR. They were interviewing the guy credited with possibly creating and selling the second known NFT. He said he didn't know what he was making at the time, but now he realizes it was a total scam. Every NFT and a lot of cryptos have been straight-up pump and dump schemes. That shit would be illegal if it wasn't new tech

Why? Whats the difference selling digital art that could be copied countless times.

90+ percent of CSGO skins are made by third party artists. Who receive 50% of the key purchase revenue. Contracted artists enter into an agreement with Valve so that Valve are licensed to use the artwork only pertaining to CSGO. Ownership of said artwork stays with the artist. 99.999% of CSGO skins arent unique where all available CSGO skins cant be duplicated.

NFT's are contracted digital artwork by a corporate entity. Corporate entity assumes full ownership of the artwork and creates/retains/maintains the digital entry. First purchaser of said NFT enters into a licensing agreement with the corporate entity. When the first buyer sells to another buyer that new buyer isnt bound to the licensing agreement. Yet the digital footprint is still solely controlled by the corporate entity.

Skins on steroid, they have made a better comercial platform and games will follow this. As for unique, the artist who created the Apes, did 5 sets and then created 5000 or so apes, can't remember, with AI then minted them in a marketplace.

digital art cannot be unique, its just a digital image that can be copied, big woop if you have access to said image in a market place, at least in games you can somewhat claim unique use inside a game if they implement a NFT system.

I remember games having mod tools, people making their own skins and not paying for that.

Metaverse will be just a place to buy stupid digital stuff of no value, can't wait for this revolution.

Add this to the list of vast differences. Non-human generated artwork has no copyright ownership.

this makes it even more crazy, so only the actual 5 Apes can be copyrighted, wonder their value today.

And of those artist created NFT's copyright is held by Yuga Labs. Purchasers only have a licensing agreement.
 


After originally stating that the money Square Enix would receive from selling Eidos Montreal, Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix Montreal was to be invested into NFTs, it seems the publisher has opted not to do that.

In the studio’s most recent financial report, which, now having been translated into English (...), president Yosuke Matsuda details the publisher’s change of heart.
 
First SEGA title to feature blockchain tech underway:



As reported by 4Gamer, the deal with Japanese blockchain company Double Jump Tokyo will result in the development of a new game based on Sega’s popular Sangokushi Taisen series.

Sangokushi Taisen is a real-time strategy game which is mostly played in Japanese arcades, and sees players collecting physical cards which they can then place on the playing area to make them appear in the game.​
